Fortnum Parquet De Chantilly

Fortnum’s Antique French Oak has held the attention of our makers since it first arrived in our British workshops. With a history reaching back to the seventeenth century, its deep chocolate tones and richly weathered surface reward careful restoration. Each section carries its own grain, markings and tonal depth.

The Parquet de Chantilly composition arranges this expressive oak into intersecting lengths and framed timber sections. Changing grain directions lend depth to the geometry, with warmer brown hues appearing among darker pieces. Original patina is preserved through the restoration, while hand-polished undulations and hand-rolled edges give the ordered pattern a tactile quality.

Burnished Hardwax Oil Satin brings a subtle lustre to the antique surface. Each 980 × 980mm panel is 20mm thick, with a two-ply engineered construction and a nominal 4–6mm wear layer.

Fortnum Parquet de Chantilly is UKTR compliant and should be maintained using Care System 2. Complementary architectural details can be made on request, extending the timber’s rich tonal character through the interior.
